Starting week 3 tonight...btw....does anyone else have a partner doing the challenge with them? My husband loves it, but grumbles like crazy while we are doing it. Cracks me up. I'm like seriously dude?!

. I couldn't do even 1 pushup. Don't let that stop you!!!!!

My incline is on my wedding hope chest so about 2 feet off the ground. I did the knees (I'm doing a c25k training and trying to NOT hurt those knees) but I tried the knees on my day 3 of week 2 and found those easier...so not sure if I will continue those or go back to the incline.

I didn't see this thread till now, but I'm starting week 3 tonight. I do both the situps and pushups on M,W,F and DEFINITELY feel stronger. My pushups still leave a lot to be desired. I'm working on level 3 on an incline, because I still can't manage to do a regular pushup. I don't think that by the end that I'll be able…

Exactly! I didn't loathe myself, because I have rather healthy self esteem and big or small I like how I like for the most part, BUT I wasn't energetic, fit, and needed a change.

Lean protein has been instrumental in keeping my HUGE appetite in check. If you choose to do only veggies and fruit because you are considering a vegan lifestyle you probably need to think of other protein sources. Bean, legumes, soy products. Did I say HUGE appetite? If I did just fruit and veggies (which I do really like…

Hatha yoga? I'm considering doing that.

Very good point!!!! Didn't think of that factor!!!!!

I was JUST on my way home thinking about this. I've not watched those shows, but have a coworker that is obsessed with biggest loser and I told her I couldn't understand how they sanctioned losing that weight in such a short period of time. I'm not saying whether I believe those shows are good or bad...just that I would…

By tough as nails I mean I don't want any skirting around the issue...I welcome strong encouragement aka a good swift kick in the *kitten*.

completely agree! I found that on Thanksgiving...knowing that I was going to log in my food kept me from overindulging. I ate everything that was there, just in moderation.

I'm gonna log and I'm not going to overly restrict...I don't plan on eating a whole pie, just enjoying dinner and the day. That night we are gonna go out dancing so I figure that will help torch those calories.

Gorgeous and inspirational!!!!!!! Congrats on the loss of weight and gain of new life with fantastic confidence, better health, and a new wardrobe!

This is completely fascinating to me. I didn't read all of the comments, but does someone know what the science behind it is? Is it basically just breaking the routine of eating the same calorie range? So it kickstarts your body back into working on getting rid of the extra calories consumed on those gorge/cheat days?

Wow!!! I want to seriously share this with all of my friends that are struggling with their weight! You look gorgeous! Congratulations and thank you for being an inspiration. I know that doesn't answer your questions, but WOW!!!

YOU ARE MY HERO! I love to hear this stuff!!!!!!!!!! My knee is giving me a bit of problems and I'm starting my c25k week 4 tomorrow so this is exactly what I need to hear! Rock on! :)

I tried it over the summer and was hitting the gym really hard with cycling, elliptical, zumba. Then I'd come home and eat cake, chips, and second helpings of dinner. So I of course saw NO results. Then it hit me.....I'm gonna be celebrating my 10 year anniversary and though I don't loathe how I look.....I don't love it…

We make all of our dressings at home..and by we, I mean my husband...super easy though. My favorite of his is a citrus dijon . He squeezes half an orange with a tbsp of dijon mustard adds some freshly diced or ground herbs and a then beats in a some amount of evoo. www.skinnytaste.com www.skinnycrockpot.com…

oh and one more question...what do yall do in between sets? I have been stretching my lower body during the rest intervals....or do I need to really "rest"?

So since I'm doing it on an incline....I decided to do level 3. I wonder if thats a bad idea. What are yalls thoughts?

If someone already said this sorry for repeating the information, but someone on another post clued me into pooch to 5k....kinda a spinoff of the couch to 5k. I was worried running with my chihuahua that it was too much for him. Hes really really really high energy and and only dog so walking kinda just turned into running…

My calorie intake is about 1250 (prior to exercise) and I have been trying to do a bit more carbs at dinner time the night before my c25k days. I just finished week 3. You will FEEL awesome once it is done! I will say though I can't do it on a treadmill on the gym...gives me too much time to NOT do it. I get up, get…

Thats a super helpful tip!!!!!!!!! I'm on week 3 of c25k so as the weeks progress I will keep this tip in mind!!!!

I've tried pills, nuvaring, non hormonal IUD, and even the patch that has now been pulled...the best thing that has worked for me with the least side effects is as described above fertility awareness. I'm going on 10 years of marriage and have not gotten pregnant. I am considering permanent options, but don't want to limit…

Merci!!!!!

Do we log here? Or just on our personal exercise logs? Either way did day 1. :)

Any suggestions on what kind of an incline to use for the pushups if modified (knees) aren't the best? hmmm....I have a bench that sits up about 2 feet high...wonder if that will work. I'll go check. :)

I may have misunderstood the directions, I thought for the fitness test you had to do regular pushups not modifications....cause I can't do any "real" pushups so I'm starting in column 1. Which is fine by me, I think this is the perfect challenge to hold me accountable and get me started to really building upper and even…
